Rainbow's Stripes

Hunting down my dream

With everyday my dream became more apparent I would watch the wonderboltz constantly and talk to spitfire,fleetfoot and soarin about their training, everything was looking up.
My parents would give me tips on how to became an amazing flyer but they would say "start small Rainbow work your way up to the top" but this was way too extreme to take baby steps I needed big something that would get me my cutie mark.
Both of my parents were athletic flyers so I must carry on to also become a great athletic flyer.

I went into cloudsdale JR everypony was staring at me their eyes follwed me I felt closed in like i was trapped inside a box, One pony came up to me and glared before making his "speach" "What in the name of celestia do you think your playing at Rainbow?" Of course I was puzzled; from the corner of my eye I saw fluttershy go off, poor thing she hates crowds and arguments it frightens her someponys don't have any consideration for others, I looked back up at the pony questioning my every move and most possibly my training, I have seen him before his name was Cruiser he was a massive bully everypony who wasn't good enough was his victim (which ment practicly everyone) I replied in a stern voice "Cruiser back off it's none of your buisness what I'm doing" He grumbled and moved his hoof across his neck as if he was cutting it with a harsh reply he yelled "you're a dead pegausi I tell you that now" I felt butterflies in my stomach but he didnt scare me, I've grown out of intimidation nothing could stop me, i barged passed him ignoring his gesture to find fluttershy.

"fluttershy...where are you? Flutt..." I stopped to hear a weaping noise from the left of me I turned around to see fluttershy crying "Oh Rainbow you got into a fight didn't you, why didn't you just leave your so silly, you had me so worried" I looked at her with kind eyes and put my hooves in hers and replied "I'm not a push over anymore I need to stand up for my self I'm sorry" Fluttershy looked up at me and gave me a soft smile the crying stopped that's when she told me something i wouldn't ever forget. "Rainbow,Cruiser will want to challenge you, everyone knows you have some sort of secret your not telling they plan to get it out from you" I had a quick reaction with out hesitation "They can try" Fluttershy began to worry you could hear it in her soft delicate voice "Rainbow...be carefull" I looked at her and pulled her close to me and whispered in her ear "I will be carefull...for you fluttershy."

The next day I had the day off I worked my self sick. A knock came out side I slowly got up my wings and legs were in so much pain from all the training i've been doing, When i opened the door my eyes lit up to my surprise it was Spitfire "Hey Rainbow, mind if i come in and talk to you" I put my hoof out to gesture for her entrance and walked into the sitting room "What do you want to talk about?" she just looked at me and said "Flying,how's your training?" I sat there dazed I couldn't believe spitfire was in my house "well it's fine i'm getting better mre practice will help."
She smiled at me and gave out a heart laugh "Thats the spirit, I think you would have potential to be a wonderbolt you know" she laughed and carried on " but you need to take it easy when trianing a little is a lot, It's not about quantity it's about quality" She got up before leaving and said "Rest up Rainbow, thank you for you'r time"

When the door finaly shut I let out a massive fangirl scream. This was great I have potential...I don't think life could be any better.
"My dream continues cruiser wanting to fight; Spitfire saying i have potential and I have rested up and taking it easy one day ill there in the sky."
